I used to jump from clutch to hb and always just stall the bike out when I would start to lose a circle. Then my starter relay box took a number two and I bump started my bike for a couple weeks. You learn to coordinate hanging on and working clutch and handbrake real fast when the punishment for failing is pushing a two wheel tank back to life lol. Smash your starter fuse and give it hell man...

Those spring hand exercise things are a good investment too, constantly squeeze those and your hands will turn into death griping stunt claws.

move your levers so that its comfortable. Post a pic of you hb setup?

I started with seat stander, one finger on each.

i worked one for a month straight and got tennis elbow for it....helped a little but not enough, even when i was doing thousands of reps a day

By no means am I a good rider, I make (the best Rad Supports on the market though) but, when I have free time I ride around the neighborhood sitting highchair and using the clutch/handbrake to slide, stalls, burnouts and just basic control of the 2 levers there.

i just started doing seat stander wheelies and ran with the bike when i did it wrong. crashed a couple times but i got it eventually
